    This is just clearing the way,

    That’s a pretty brutal thing to say.

      War is brutal. Hamas should have thought twice before starting one.

        Do you think that wiping out a bunch of Palestinians who had nothing to do with Hamas is justified? The majority of people under attack right now aren’t terrorists.

        I totally agree with you that Hamas needs to go, but I don’t think the IDF is going about it in the right way. For every Hamas soldier that they kill, they are killing innocent civilians. The survivors are going to be radicalized.

          Here’s the thing, Hamas isn’t giving them a choice. They’re lying to the people saying not to leave. They’re using them as human shields, we see it in the videos.

          And let’s be clear here. Israel has no choice. This isn’t the US going into Iraq, Israel faces an existential threat from Hamas and Iran in the region. Not taking action means death for more Israelis.

          Israel is abiding by the rules of war in the region, not the Western ideal of war. You’re going to see the equivalent of a jihad here and frankly, fuck Hamas for forcing their hand in doing it.

          This is all because Israel was becoming accepted in the region. If they’re not going to be accepted, they’re going to guarantee their survival.
